The central part of the exhibition is dedicated to Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Omsk period of life and work. What is the Omsk penal labor prison? What did the prison jumpsuits look like? Or were they even jumpsuits? What were the shackles Dostoevsky wore day and night for four years? What was ‘The Siberian Notebook’ before it was ever published in a collection of Dostoevsky’s works? You can learn all of this and much more by visiting the museum. The museum’s exhibition includes rare in-life publications of Dostoevsky’s works and periodicals containing his pieces.
The museum is also dedicated to the Siberian literature and its most prominent figures. The name of the city is associated with writers whose fame extended far beyond the city limits. Those are, to name a few: Feoktist Berezovsky, Anton Sorokin, Leonid Martynov, Georgy Vyatkin, Robert Rozhdestvensky, and many others.
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
